"It's the Water:" Icelandic Beer Made From Smoked Whale Testicles
How, exactly, do you brew with whale testicles?
We get the testicles frozen from the whaling company, and we have a licensed butcher chop it up for us to use. The testicles are cured according to an old Icelandic tradition. The testicles are salted, and then smoked with sheep dung. A whole testicle is used in every brewing cycle, and then the beer is filtered and pasteurized. We put a lot of effort into this, and it’s a long process.Never Yet Melted ｻ

Of course, there's "shrinkage."

When life gives you whale nuts....make beer. Personally I'll just stick with my weekend Bushmills.

You lost me at smoked with sheep dung.
I will stick with the New Belgium Brewing "Rampant" Imperial Pale Ale that I had with dinner this evening. 8.5% ABV 85 IBU. It is a substantial brew, that stood up to my chile very well.
